Golden Retriever's Ears Are So Expressive, His Owner Named Them

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Fingers, a Labrador-golden retriever mix with a flair for facial expressions, has become the latest four-legged internet star—not for tricks or treats, but for the unexpected contortions of his ears. In a now-viral TikTok video shared on April 28 by his owner, under the handle @fingersthegoldador, the 5-year-old dog showcased his surprising talent: an ever-changing array of ear positions that has captivated millions. Viewed more than 1.4 million times and liked by over 230,000 TikTok users, the lighthearted video features Fingers flashing what his owner Julia affectionately calls his "cup ear," "turn signal ear," and "mouse ears"—a catalog of comical contortions that has left viewers in hysterics. "He is a very goofy and lovable dog," Julia told Newsweek. "One day I noticed that every time I came home from work, he would greet me with a new ear shape. "I started to record them because I thought it was so cute how he could bend his ears in so many different ways!" The post has sparked a wave of laughter and recognition among pet owners, many of whom jumped into the comments to share the names they have given their own dogs' unique ear movements. "My favorite comments were from other dog owners explaining the names they have for their own dog's ear shape," Julia said. "There were some clever and funny names mentioned in the comments, and it made me laugh to think other dog owners have also named the specific shapes their dog's ears make." But behind the hilarity lies a subtle form of communication. Dr. Nita Vasudevan, veterinarian contributor for Embrace Pet Insurance, told Newsweek that ear movements can offer real insight into how dogs feel. Fingers the Labrador golden retriever moves his ears in different ways in a TikTok video.

"Ears that are pinned back often indicate the dog is feeling some anxiety, fear, or submission—especially when the ears are paired with other body language cues like a lowered head or a tucked tail." By contrast, ears that are forward or perked typically signal interest or alertness. But Vasudevan cautioned against overgeneralizing: "Because ear shapes vary widely between breeds, it's important to interpret ear position in the context of the dog's overall body language and temperament and their natural ear posture." For Julia, Fingers' viral fame is less about the anatomy of expression and more about the joys of pet ownership. Whether folded, flopped, or flying high, his ears have become a daily surprise that has now brought smiles far beyond their front door.

17 Moments From "The Project" To Ease Your Loss

It certainly wasn't the most conventional news program. In fact, that was the whole idea — it presented the headlines in more of a casual and digestible way with commentary from its hosts. Carrie Bickmore accidentally saying "cunt-as" when referring to Qantas. Another accidental slip of the tongue — Andrew Rochford calling comedian and writer Kitty Flanagan, "clitty". Criminal Minds daddy, Mandy Patinkin, reminiscing on the time he and long-time Aussie TV staple, Rove McManus, shared a cheeky pash. Carrie falling over during a live cross, because of her high heels. Elmo confessing at the desk that he wanted to feed Abby Cadabby Vegemite, because of its horrible taste. When the production team couldn't do cutaways so the presenters acted out b-roll moments while one of them read the news. Amanda Keller suggesting Robbie Williams and Pete Helliar should have a snog — so they did! Lots of kissing on The Project, TBH. Georgie Tunny and Hamish MacDonald surprised by pyrotechnics on the Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning red carpet, leading to an inability to hear the presenters in the studio. Three for three for Carrie Bickmore — calling the T20 Big Bash, the big "breast" while closing out the show. The Inspired Unemployed gents pranking The Sunday Project team by heckling them in front of a live audience. Filmmaking brothers, Michael and Danny Philippou throwing glasses of water on each other during a live broadcast. Which felt like nothing in comparison to them taking over the broadcast and freaking out the presenters on their first The Project interview. For those playing at home, "root" is Aussie slang for "hook up". Margot Robbie forgetting about Australian slang for "barbie" while on her Barbie press run. And finally, never forget when Randy Feltface went full throttle and questions why he was given a glass of water. He's a puppet. Got any favourite Aussie news moments?

Manny Pacquiao and Sydney Sweeney Headline 2025 Boxing Hall of Fame Weekend

Canastota, NY is known as the showplace for boxing and has continued to be the location for the International Boxing Hall of Fame Induction ceremony. 'It's a great time for boxing because the whole world of boxing focuses on this celebration to honor the new class of inductees,' said Ed Brophy, the Executive Director of the International Boxing Hall of Fame. This year's class featured 14 names, four received posthumous inductions and 10 were in attendance. Those names included referee Kenny Bayless in the non-participant category, television producer Ross Greenberg, and journalist Randy Gordon in the observer category, and fighters Manny 'Pac Man' Pacquiao, 'The Pazmanian Devil' Vinny Paz, Michael 'Second To' Nunn, Mary Jo Sanders, Cathy 'Cat' Davis, Yessica 'Kika' Chavez and Anne Sophie Mathis. From Thursday to Sunday, fans had the opportunity to take pictures, get autographs hear ring side talks from previous and new inductees and see the fist casting for the new inductees. 'This is the highest honor to get inducted into the Hall of Fame and fans come from all over,' Brophy said. 'Boxing's the greatest sport and we're excited to present the highest honor.' 'I've been coming to the International Boxing Hall of Fame since 2009, because of the love, because of how well Ed Brophy runs the show here and to actually be inducted just took it up another level for me,' Bayless said. On Sunday, the Parade of Champions made it's way through the streets of Canastota and saw celebrities and previous hall of fame inductees like George Cooney, Jackie Kallen. The parade was headlined by Christy Martin and the Grand Marshal, actress Sydney Sweeney, who will be portraying Martin in a movie later this year. After the parade was the induction ceremony at Turning Stone where the 2025 class received their Hall of Fame rings, reminisced on the past and gave some words of encouragement. 'Don't give up, just stay focused,' Pacquiao said. 'Hard work and discipline. The most important is discipline that's what we can do so we can fulfill our dreams in life. It might not be in boxing but in our lives we have a dream to fulfill, to accomplish. So we should believe in ourselves, of course believe in God, and have hard work and discipline.'
